Public speaking is difficult, and can be scary, and I help people overcome that fear.

Brian is extremely knowledgeable and a great teacher. He has been instrumental to my personal success in my business analytics course and my exam/quiz performances demonstrate this.

Brian is patient and is able to meet you at your skill level. He is able to explain something in multiple ways so you really understand the concept and does not get frustrated if you aren’t getting it. His breadth of knowledge is vast and he is extremely intelligent. I hope to continue working with him and deepening my personal mathematical knowledge as he has made the subject interesting and no longer daunting.
